So why not just skip the whole Earth thing and let his creations all just live happily in heaven? This is what doesn't make any sense to me(among other things). Sure Earth could be a test. But why make humans imperfect and flawed and capable of even thinking of doing wrong or not believing in god. Why would you give them the opportunity to fail? Why wouldn't you make their brains default to believing in god so that little tribes all over the world who have never heard of Christianity (or whatever other religion that says all people who don't follow their religion go to the bad place) don't get banished to hell with absolutely no chance of even knowing what they did wrong?Legion IV said:Alright, i gotta respond to this, i hope my comment wasn't taken in the wrong light, like i said not all and again it seems just my city, again sorry if offended you or anyone.RobCoxxy said:If you REALLY believe in heaven, and that it's a quadrillion times better than life on earth, why do people wear seatbelts?
And cry when they say "Dad's in a better place?"
Now i hate when people use these arguments. First off of course I'll be fucking sad when a loved one dies, even though there probably ballin it up in heaven chilling and getting a hug from god. There still gone, they still died, they were still taken from this earth so of course we'll be sad.
If your best friend say for like 20 years said there moving far far away you'll never see them again and they cant call you or use phones but its there dream come true, you'll still be sad. So cut it out with that garbage, when i had a loved one die i mourned of course i did why wouldn't i she was still a kid!? but deep down and to this day i know shes in a much better place, shes fine shes up in the sky looking down on me and shes happy that even though I'll never forget her, I'll never be sad anymore that shes gone cause all that will do is make her sad so theres no point. So enough with that same quote.
Secondly, life here is still great, we were given life by our savior why would we squander the greatest gift hes given us? That would be an insult. He gave us the greatest gift of all which is life so why on fucking earth would we give that up!? Its like being served dinner an amazing feast Turly cranberrys fish, potatoes but dessert if your favorite cake and you just throw all the food over the table and say i want my fucking dessert not this garbage.
Now comparisons aside the other reason is, intentionally doing something like that would be in a sense killing ourselves, Our life's are not ours to take. When you let him into your heart its no longer just yours...
Just so much snark comments.
See this is what I just don't get the most. IMO, either God isn't real or he certainly is not good.
I don't mean to debate religion I try to go with the whatever floats your boat attitude but I have always been curious about what a religious person would say to this and I would never ask this of a really religious person outside the internet because the only ones I know are family members and they would hate me if I let slip that I'm not religious. (These are outside the main family, my mom, dad, and sister are all agnostic.).
So again, I'm not trying to shake your faith or anything (I highly doubt some random opinion on the internet would be able to do that) I'm just really curious to see how religious people answer my above rant.
